How is the HIS Division? It is always cameras on to watch you work and micromanagement or is it more it is fine as long as you get the job done? How are the working hours and meeting hours? Any pressures from the separation announcements

@OP @dz My experience was a little different. I was a long-time employee who was affected by the layoffs late last year and worked in the office before COVID.
One of my biggest frustrations was the double standard around accountability. Employees who were dedicated and consistently available were often held to a higher standard, while others could remain disengaged with little scrutiny. Senior leadership was often guilty of the same thing, setting expectations around camera use, punctuality, and meeting etiquette that they didn’t consistently follow themselves.
Ultimately, it felt like those doing the work were expected to do more, while accountability wasn’t applied equally. My issue wasn’t remote work itself, but the lack of consistent standards.
There are about 3k people in the HIS division and different products and teams with different deliverables and time-frames.
Some are more stringent than others. There was a mandate for on camera when on meetings but for now it's up to each manager to enforce and not many people are doing it.
It is very obvious who is using mouse jigglers or lying about being available on teams. Your manager will check in on your by asking random questions etc.
The division is up for sale and has already been cut pretty lean as is. Many folks leave because they are not used to full remote or the fact that you will be figuring out much on your own and the learning curve is pretty high.
